In the last year, JGU has witnessed remarkable developments relating to teaching, research and
institution building. JGU has forged a number of international collaborations and has played
a pivotal role in organizing seminars, lectures, and conferences on major issues related to law,
society and business. The establishment of JGBS is an important milestone in the history of JGU.
The interconnectedness of the study of business and law and the opportunity of faculty from
JGLS and JGBS interacting with each other is a unique feature of education at JGU.

Tolerance for ambiguity, embracing diversity of thought and culture - these are not learnt on the
Internet. They are learnt through extensive practice and the application of sound principles that
rest on strong, tested, conceptual foundations. This is the kind of leader for tomorrow whom we
are trying to prepare today at JGBS; where learning to lead in the right way at the right time in
the right place, is not a skill which is learned quickly and lightly through memory tests; where
good teamwork is a skill acquired and developed through extensive practice and continuous
improvement throughout our two years’ intensive, rigorous MBA and MBL curriculum.
Our students are consciously taught to take a global perspective in their management thinking
through their work with case studies and internationally experienced professors, in applied
research projects, and in their “Action Learning” programmes which are the capstones to their
degree. These key learning components, reinforce and dovetail with their two-month internships
at leading companies, upon completion of their core courses, and prior to final placement at the
end of the second year.

through a unique pedagogy of learning and interaction among peers in a
modular format. Activities like live projects, field assignments, and simulation
games form an integral part of the programmes.
